Industrial Display Delivers up to 1,200 Nits

LISTED UNDER:

Providing an XGA image, the Sharp LQ121X3LG02 display yields a brightness of 1200 cd/m² with a contrast ratio of 1000:1. Well-suited for industrial applications such as measurement, testing or controlling equipment, the display has an LED backlight with 5 x 8 LEDs. The display brightness can be easily controlled by photodiodes and automatically adjusted in correlation of the ambient light conditions; this means that the display remains constantly and easy legible, even in frequently changing light conditions. The display is also more mechanically robust, as LEDs are far less breakable than the glass bodies of cold-cathode lamps.

LED backlights can achieve a service life of up to 200,000 hours and provide full light output as soon as they are switched on. To achieve an operating temperature range from -20º to +60°C, Sharp developed a special chassis in which the LEDs of the backlight are thermally coupled directly to the mechanical parts of the module. This means that waste heat is efficiently discharged into the environment via the rear of the display, ensuring that there is no damaging heat accumulation even at high ambient temperatures.
